Korea’s first snowfall of the season has officially arrived, but instead of a light, gentle snowfall, it has quickly turned into a full blizzard. The weather changed much faster than expected, and many streets and sidewalks are already covered with thick snow and ice.

Because of this sudden heavy snow, the ground is extremely slippery today. Please be extra careful when walking or driving. We’re already seeing several areas in the neighborhood becoming difficult to pass, especially on slopes or areas with less traffic where the snow isn’t melting.

If you need to go out, take your time and watch your step. Wear shoes with good grip, avoid rushing, and hold railings whenever possible. For those driving, please reduce your speed and keep a safe distance from other vehicles—visibility may also be lower than usual.

We hope everyone stays warm and safe during this harsh first snow. If the weather gets worse, consider staying indoors unless it’s necessary to go out.

Take care, and let’s all get through this snowy day without accidents! ❄️
